42.) Story of Aten
Despite the brave front they put on, the centipede monster quickly knocked them aside before hurling straight at the three girls. Jasmine screamed with fright, and Dawn got ready to arm herself.
But a blur dashed out in front of them; using Neko-chan's shared eyesight, Dawn saw that the blur was Rin. The ice-elf wielded two ice daggers. Rin moved elegantly, almost as if he was dancing as he severed the monster's body into eight pieces.
Eyeing the disembodied corpse, Dawn called out to Kris but saw the other having difficulties pushing away Misty, who had an iron grip on him. Sighing, Dawn marched her way over and ripped Misty away from Kris.
"Rin killed the monster. It's getting late, so we best take shelter tonight and finish first thing tomorrow morning." Dawn looked towards the sky and saw the sun setting against the horizon.
